tracing/eprobe: Fix memory leak of filter string
The filter string doesn't get freed when a dynamic event is deleted. If a filter is set, then memory is leaked: root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# echo 'e:egroup/stat_runtime_4core \ sched/sched_stat_runtime runtime=$runtime:u32 if cpu < 4' >> dynamic_events root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# echo "-:egroup/stat_runtime_4core" >> dynamic_events root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak [ 224.416373] kmemleak: 1 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak) root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak unreferenced object 0xffff88810156f1b8 (size 8): comm "bash", pid 224, jiffies 4294935612 (age 55.800s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 63 70 75 20 3c 20 34 00 cpu < 4. backtrace: [<000000009f880725>] __kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x18e/0x720 [<0000000042492946>] __kmalloc+0x57/0x240 [<0000000034ea7995>] __trace_eprobe_create+0x1214/0x1d30 [<00000000d70ef730>] trace_probe_create+0xf6/0x110 [<00000000915c7b16>] eprobe_dyn_event_create+0x21/0x30 [<000000000d894386>] create_dyn_event+0xf3/0x1a0 [<00000000e9af57d5>] trace_parse_run_command+0x1a9/0x2e0 [<0000000080777f18>] dyn_event_write+0x39/0x50 [<0000000089f0ec73>] vfs_write+0x311/0xe50 [<000000003da1bdda>] ksys_write+0x158/0x2a0 [<00000000bb1e616e>] __x64_sys_write+0x7c/0xc0 [<00000000e8aef1f7>] do_syscall_64+0x60/0x90 [<00000000fe7fe8ba>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd Additionally, in __trace_eprobe_create() function, if an error occurs after the call to trace_eprobe_parse_filter(), which allocates the filter string, then memory is also leaked. That can be reproduced by creating the same event probe twice: root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# echo 'e:egroup/stat_runtime_4core \ sched/sched_stat_runtime runtime=$runtime:u32 if cpu < 4' >> dynamic_events root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# echo 'e:egroup/stat_runtime_4core \ sched/sched_stat_runtime runtime=$runtime:u32 if cpu < 4' >> dynamic_events -bash: echo: write error: File exists root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak [ 207.871584] kmemleak: 1 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak) root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak unreferenced object 0xffff8881020d17a8 (size 8): comm "bash", pid 223, jiffies 4294938308 (age 31.000s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 63 70 75 20 3c 20 34 00 cpu < 4. backtrace: [<000000000e4f5f31>] __kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x18e/0x720 [<0000000024f0534b>] __kmalloc+0x57/0x240 [<000000002930a28e>] __trace_eprobe_create+0x1214/0x1d30 [<0000000028387903>] trace_probe_create+0xf6/0x110 [<00000000a80d6a9f>] eprobe_dyn_event_create+0x21/0x30 [<000000007168698c>] create_dyn_event+0xf3/0x1a0 [<00000000f036bf6a>] trace_parse_run_command+0x1a9/0x2e0 [<00000000014bde8b>] dyn_event_write+0x39/0x50 [<0000000078a097f7>] vfs_write+0x311/0xe50 [<00000000996cb208>] ksys_write+0x158/0x2a0 [<00000000a3c2acb0>] __x64_sys_write+0x7c/0xc0 [<0000000006b5d698>] do_syscall_64+0x60/0x90 [<00000000780e8ecf>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd Fix both issues by releasing the filter string in trace_event_probe_cleanup().
